Mike James (Born Michael James Flores on Jan. 6, 1978) is a Texan
native, born in Harlingen, Texas and raised in Houston. While booking
events and bar tending at Fitzgerald's in 2006, a filmmaker friend
(Stacy Davidson, director of "Sweatshop") suggested that James host a
monthly film mixer at the famed venue. He founded Burlap Monkey
Productions in Spring of 2007, then started working with fellow local
filmmaker Wayne Slaten as his assistant director on a few award winning
48 hr film projects as well as the supernatural feature "Backroad"
until 2009. Then in September 2009, James started directing, producing
and writing his own film projects. In 2011, he began work on the
Fantasy/Drama "Jésus," taking the reins on all aspects of production -
using Houston multimedia artists Jonatan Lopez, Max Xanduax, and
Patrick D. Green as talent to moderate notice. He began work on the
psychological thriller web series "Love, Why Don't You Stay" that
featured more Houston talent including singer La Catrin in 2012, which
premieres Fall 2013. He will also have a small role in Wayne Slaten's
upcoming multi-million dollar Sci-fi feature "Patriot Act."
